Chapter 1

I

He was annoyed. The stares, and glares and smirks from servants and guards
were unbearable, but what angered him more was the fact that he got caught. He was
never caught. He was always silent and stealthy, making his with the most rigorous
and agile movements possible. He kept his and his group’s identities hidden. They
completed their job without leaving any type of evidence, and they would be
long gone before they even found out that there had been crime. He was never careless,
and he tried his best to stay anonymous. But this time he was caught, and
possibly would suffer a great punishment from the Lady of the household, Lady
Jameson.

But
how could he ever get caught? Well, she found him. He was astonished to see a
pair of brown eyes staring at him after he had given the medallion from Lady
Jameson’s vault to Tess so she could take it to their group. The girl’s eyes
widened and before he could make a run, she had plummeted on top of him and
screamed at the top of her lungs for the guards to come into the vault. He had
never seen such exotic brown eyes; they had flecks of gold around the irises
and they had this intensity that, in other circumstances, he would like to have
taken advantage of. The girl was gorgeous; perfect round lips, beautiful big
eyes and a skin so soft that made him consider her state as servant.

A pair
of rough hands filled with callouses brought him back to reality, lifting him
up and taking him away from the girl that seemed almost too perfect to be
someone else’s property. He was taken to the main hall, filled with golden
statues and colorful jars. The walls were a blinding white in contrast of the light
that poured through a large window in the opposite site from where he had
entered. The servants, with their usual red ornaments on the shirts of men and
in the women’s cropped tube tops and matching pants, stared at him with fear;
most of them were bare foot and some wore chains around their necks. The guards
wore a white shirt under their blue jacket and fitting pants.

The
lady of the household, however, wore jewels to no extent on her fingers, her
ears, her wrists, and her ankles. She wore a simple blue night dress that extended
her figure and made her face stand out. That face that brought Day’s creep out
of him. He didn’t like the woman and she knew that; they have had this rivalry ever
since she had killed his mother; ever since she made his father leave to war
everybody knew they weren’t going to win. The one and only woman he was ever
afraid to. She smirked as if reading his thoughts and looked at him from above.
He had been forced to kneel in front of her. Oh, how much respect he would ever
have for her. As much respect as a monkey could have.

“It
has been a long time, hasn’t it, Daniel?” her voiced purred, as she lowered a
hand to his chin. He pulled away with disgust.

“Not
as much as I would like,” he responded, trying to look everywhere, but not her
eyes. He noticed the girl, standing tall (although she wasn’t tall at all, she
could be tall enough to get to his shoulders), with a firm gaze and her arms
behind her. She wore the same outfit as the servants, but with golden
embroidery at the length of her pants and in her top. A royal servant? That spiked
his curiosity.

“Yet,
my dear boy. I found that you were stealing from me. Again.”

Yes,
he had stolen from her when he was eight. And he didn’t regret it.

“I
might have.”

“You
know you will not go unpunished, do you? This time you can’t escape, I have
made sure of it.”

Sadly,
she was right. He couldn’t escape this time. He hadn’t expected this, and Tess
and the others would be gone by now. They knew they couldn’t come back. Day looked
up at the ceiling. He was going to be killed. He could sense it. It wasn’t ho
he wanted to die, but he accepted it. Oh
dear mother, forgive me for following this path. Father, sorry for not being a
soldier just like you. I know this isn’t the path I should have followed and
that I disappointed you, but-

“Mistress?”
a small, but strong voice cut his prayers and made him search the crowd they
had gained. It had been the girl, the beautiful girl that had captured him. She
was biting her lip, as if she were going to be pushed next to him and be killed
along with him.

“What
do you want, June? This is not time for you to be interrupting,” said Lady
Jameson, glaring at the girl’s direction.

“Well,
mistress,” the girl, June, started, “I believe he can be useful to us. I mean,
he must know where his group is hiding.”

The
silenced that followed made Day question the girl’s fate. But she was right, he
understood. She was trying to give him a reason to stay alive. He could just
push things until he found a way to escape from this horrible place.

“What
if he can? Is better to kill him know and avoid future problems,” Lady Jameson
said, rising an eyebrow.

“He
can guide us to the medallion is what I am saying mistress. He will know where
they are, hence, the medallion.”

Lady
Jameson felt silent. Her brows knitted in concentration as she pondered what
she had been told. Stupid woman. Just accept the statement. Let him live. That was
all Day could ever want. The silence was unnerving and he started to seat; he couldn’t
be killed here, not as ridiculously as this. He had to die heroically. A remembered
death. Not inside this witch’s palace.

“Alright, I accept your opinion, but you will
take care of him then, June,” he turned to him, her smirk coming back, sending
a shiver down his spine. “I hope you get to love our prodigy girl. She is a
precious treasure to me, so don’t think you can steal my cherished possession.”

This story is very descriptive, with vivid scenes from the very beginning, which made for a good scene setting. I love the symbolism in names, such as “Naysayers”, “Hadd”, etc .

This is the first book I have read on this app and I loved it! When I read the title I thought about the hunger games, but this novel is so much more.

William Elliott Kern:
Long story, the plot uncovered midway through the story. From beginning, the story was fast moving. Then dragged on for quite some time. The Author was good in describing her characters, their clothing, etc. but a lot of that disclosure distracted from the story moving fast.Not withstanding, the...

Mary Abigail:
I have always been a serious reader but reading romance has always been an outlet for me to be happy and this, makes me happy. It's entertaining with just enough drama and maybe a bit more - I do need more.

Wendi Getz:
Very powerful and moving story! A great read, especially for young women. I loved how it pulled the reader down the slippery slope that is domestic abuse and gave us an inside view of how easy it is to end up in that situation.

Ashley Kimler:
I love the drama and the darkness of this story. Sadly, I was distracted my editorial errors and couldn't delve into it. The grammar mistakes kept me from being able to forget where I was and immerse in the story. If not for that, I think I would have given this chapter 5 stars. My advice to the ...
